description

Genotoxic agents provoke the activation of receptor-triggered pathways and DNA damage-related functions. Here we review data on immediate-early cellular responses and transcriptional activation of DNA repair genes following exposure of mammalian cells to genotoxic stress. Functional consequences of induction of DNA repair genes are also briefly discussed.
